Revisit default touchpad settings

Depending on their IT background, users are more or less confused by Tails default touchpad settings. E.g. the lack of “tap to click” and of “two-fingers scroll” is painful on Mac hardware, and for Mac users. It could be tempting to enable these features by default in Tails. OTOH, unless drivers support “disable touchpad while typing” very well, “tap to click” is very painful.

See the blueprint for a survey of what other operating systems do, and ideas.
